Irechek Peak

Peak·2852m

Irechek Peak is located on the main Musala ridge. It is the high, steep peak visible directly ahead of Musala Hut, which is why first-time visitors to the area often mistake it for Musala Peak itself.

The peak is named after Konstantin Jireček, a Czech historian and author of the first comprehensive scientific history of the Bulgarians.

The Crown of Musala is one of the two classic alpine traverses in Rila – the other being the Malyovitsa Traverse. There is no shortage of dangerous sections, especially at Trionite (The Saws) and on the descent from Malka Musala Peak, so if you have doubts about your preparation, it is better to hire a mountain guide.
